That seems like a good idea, yeah. > I decided to add a title to the part of SAVEPOINTS and introduce the term > "Sub-Transaction" there though I'm not married to it - re-wording it using > only "savepoint" is something that should be tried still. Technically, it *is* a sub-transaction, Savepoints are just the means to do it. I think that a sub-transaction is the concept, Savepoint is the implementation. > A title and a paragraph or two on aborted transaction behavior probably > should be added as well. I'd like that. I might be able to type something up, though I'm currently a little bit short on time, so don't wait for me please. Just to make sure, you have two typos in there, "61: tranasctions" and "106: implment". Also I'd like to take the opportunity to agree with Laurenz here, "pseudo" seems to be misplaced, they *are* sub-transactions.
